polken, we respectfully ask members to not change subjects within threads; this is explicitly stated in the forum rules. Since a majority of our members use this site for searching through archived threads, keeping threads on a single subject helps others find information. It also helps with preserving clarity.

The goal in technical discussions is to be clear. With anything else, readers simply move on to the next thread.

Finally, I find your diagram confusing. vBulletin doesn't alway honor the spacing placed into messages, so I can only assume this is the reason for the lack of clarity. You can either re-edit your message to compensate for the loss of spacing (which I grant can be time-consuming...), or you can upload a diagram hosted elsewhere. As it is now, what you are trying to accomplish is not totally clear.

The company I work recently discovered that when the IP phones at our remote branch offices kept going down; either the branches would get internet or their phones would work but it more hit-and-miss then anything else.

Provided that the Cisco gets the PSK key setting up is easy. I've done it home using OpenBSD 5 as mentioned in VBOX however, 5.1 was being a bit strange??

I am willing to share notes as the config is fairly straight forward.

The Cisco side is quite easy too as is just standard IPSEC with an additionally Tunnel interface.
